A mixture of a few styles
I'm not sure, help me decide
If you answered 'A mixture of a few styles’, please elaborate and rate the styles from most important to least important.
For example, you might love candid photography but you also want a range of relaxed family portraits.
Do you have a photo wish list? Please share it with me and I will do my best!
Is there a particular shot you would love to have, or any combinations that are important to you for me to capture (e.g. all siblings in one shot together, just mum and dad, just dad and baby etc.)?
What do you like to do as a family when you are at home?
Please tell me what a slow morning/afternoon looks like for your family, minus any screens or distractions.
Please share any details about your home that might be of interest.
Perhaps there is a special place in the home that holds importance or you have a favourite room that you'd love to be included in the photos/film. Maybe you're about to move and you want some details captured so your family can remember this stage of life.
What do you like to do as a family when you are out and about?
This might help us decide on a location for the session if you want a location shoot, or if you'd like part of the session to be outside of your home.
Is there anything in particular that you'd like me to capture for your child/children to remember when they are older?
It might be a book they love, a poem/song/dance that you share with them, a time of day or activity they love, or a game you play together.
Are there any non-negotiables I should be aware of?
This might include specific times for dinner, feeds or bedtime or anything that applies to yours/your children's needs.
Are you open to changing up your schedule for the session?
The best time of day for a session is the first two hours after sunrise and the last two hours before sunset. If you think the times above aren't going to work for your family, let me know so we can plan together.
Anything else?
Please list any questions you have for me here, or feel free to tell me additional information that hasn't been covered.
